Why the Santa Cruz Shredder Stands Out
Razor-sharp teeth
Cut flower into an even, fluffy grind with very little effort, instead of crushing it into powder.
Medical-grade anodized aluminum
The anodized finish gives a hard surface that resists scratches and wear on the teeth and threads.
Magnetic lid
Snaps securely into place, so it stays closed in a pocket or bag.
T304 stainless steel pollen screen
Lets only fine pollen (kief) fall through to the bottom chamber.
Pollen scraper
For collecting kief from the bottom chamber.
Made in the USA
Santa Cruz Shredder manufactures its grinders in the United States.
How a 4-Piece Santa Cruz Shredder Works
1. GrindPlace flower between the teeth, close the magnetic lid and twist.
2. CollectGround flower drops through the grinding plate into the collection chamber, ready to load.
3. SiftThe stainless steel screen lets only the finest pollen fall through.
4. Save the kiefKief builds up in the bottom chamber. Use the included scraper to collect it.
The Right Grind for Vaporizers
Most dry herb vaporizers work best with a consistent, medium grind. Too fine and small particles slip through screens and restrict airflow; too coarse and the herb heats unevenly. The Santa Cruz Shredder’s sharp teeth produce that even, fluffy texture, which is why it is a favorite with vaporizer owners.
How to Clean a Santa Cruz Shredder
1. BrushBrush the teeth, threads and screen regularly to keep resin from building up.
2. FreezeIf it gets sticky, 10 to 15 minutes in the freezer hardens resin so it brushes away.
3. SoakFor a deep clean, soak the aluminum parts in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse with warm water.
4. DryLet every piece dry completely before putting it back together.
Santa Cruz Shredder vs Other Grinders
A basic aluminum grinder does the job, and we carry plenty of great-value options in our herb grinder collection. The Santa Cruz Shredder costs more because of how it is built: medical-grade anodized aluminum, sharper precision-machined teeth, a magnetic lid and a stainless steel screen, made in the USA. If you want a grinder you buy once and use for years, it is worth the step up.
Santa Cruz Shredder FAQ
Is the Santa Cruz Shredder worth it?
For most people who grind regularly, yes. It grinds more evenly and turns more smoothly than budget grinders, and its anodized aluminum body, magnetic lid and stainless steel pollen screen are built to last for years.
Why is the Santa Cruz Shredder so expensive?
It is made in the USA from medical-grade anodized aluminum, with precision-machined teeth, a magnetic lid and a T304 stainless steel pollen screen. Those materials and that manufacturing cost more than a mass-produced grinder.
Which Santa Cruz Shredder size is best?
The Medium (2.1 inches) is best for everyday use and travel. The Large (2.75 inches) is best if you grind more at once or share. If you are unsure, the Large is Santa Cruz Shredder's best-selling 4-piece.
What is the difference between the Santa Cruz Shredder Medium and Large?
The Medium is 2.1 inches (53 mm) across and about 2.1 inches tall. The Large is 2.75 inches (70 mm) across and about 2 inches tall, with more room in every chamber. Both are 4-piece grinders with the same magnetic lid, teeth and stainless steel pollen screen.
What is the difference between the 3-piece and 4-piece Santa Cruz Shredder?
The 4-piece adds a stainless steel pollen screen and a bottom chamber that collects kief. The 3-piece has a grinding chamber and a collection chamber but no kief catcher.
Does the Santa Cruz Shredder have a magnetic lid?
Yes. The lid is magnetic, so it closes securely and stays shut when you carry it.
What colors does the Santa Cruz Shredder come in?
The Medium comes in Black, Blue, Gold, Green, Grey, Pink, Purple, Rasta, Red and Teal. The Large comes in Black, Blue, Green, Grey, Pink, Purple and Rasta.
What comes with the Santa Cruz Shredder?
The 4-piece grinder and a pollen scraper for collecting kief from the bottom chamber.
Is the Santa Cruz Shredder made in the USA?
Yes. Santa Cruz Shredder makes its grinders in the United States.
How do you clean a Santa Cruz Shredder?
Brush the teeth, threads and screen regularly. If it gets sticky, put it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes so resin hardens and brushes off. For a deep clean, soak the aluminum parts in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water and let everything dry completely.
Is the Santa Cruz Shredder good for vaporizers?
Yes. Its sharp teeth produce the consistent, medium grind that dry herb vaporizers work best with, without turning flower into powder that can clog screens.
